Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 427

Zhang Mao was delighted with Zhu Houzhao's promise.This can be regarded as the crown prince's compensation for himself, and promoted his grandson.

In fact, I have no choice whether to give it or not. This is the respect that the crown prince gave to the veteran, and I have to follow it.

What the prince said before is actually telling myself that I already know what you think in your heart, but there is no way for Horqin to change it, and it is okay to give you compensation.You just want your grandson to make meritorious service, so let him go to Liaodong.No matter if you stay there for a few years or if there is a war, credit is indispensable.

In fact, supporting Zhang Lun was also within Zhu Houzhao's prediction.

Although there are not many factions in Ming Dynasty's military, they are not balanced.The emerging military aristocrats headed by Wang Shouren are too powerful, which is not a good thing.

Although Zhu Houzhao is not too worried about Wang Shouren, but he wants to give some comfort to the old nobles. He has always supported you, so you can't cool people's hearts.

If there is no one available, that's all. On the contrary, Zhang Lun is also very good, so give him a chance.

"Guogong is worthy of being a veteran of the imperial court, and his family has been loyal and good for generations. So, let's arrange this matter!" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

There is no need to mention other things, and Zhang Mao will not do other things.

As for those who opposed Horqin, in fact Zhu Houzhao didn't take it to heart.

This time it seems that the British government has benefited, but in fact their entire faction has benefited.Zhu Houzhao didn't need to worry about appeasing them and exchanging interests with the British Association. They can be said to be very familiar with this kind of thing.

"This matter is settled like this," Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "After I go back, I will invite my father to play."

Zhang Mao looked happy, and quickly said: "Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

That's the end of the matter.

Zhu Houzhao said again: "This Palace has another matter today, which is about the upcoming establishment of the Six Gates. The Duke must also know about this matter."

Of course Zhang Mao knew that this matter had been making trouble for a long time.It's just that they don't have much relationship with Xungui, so they didn't participate too deeply.

Zhang Mao didn't know why the crown prince mentioned this matter in front of him, but he knew that there must be something for him to use.

It's not a strange thing to give benefits in the front and let yourself contribute in the back.

"The minister has indeed heard some, but not very detailed." Zhang Mao said.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I have already invited my father to play. This time, I will be in charge of the six doors, but there are also some vacancies below. Don't Everything is easy to say, but there is one thing that I am a little worried about, and that is the position of the commander."

Zhu Houzhao did not make any innovations in the establishment of the Six Gates, but regarded it as a semi-military organization, and implemented the structure of the military.

In the future, if we want to separate the military from the civilian system, there must be a team under the command of the civilians, that is, for them to deploy on weekdays, similar to the armed police force of later generations.

Therefore, the military rank established by Zhu Houzhao is the current structure of the Ming Dynasty. A commander is set up. When the scale is expanded later, he can be promoted to be the commander of the capital, similar to Jinyiwei.

In terms of function, Six Doors is different from Jinyiwei.

In the setting of Jinyiwei, Zhu Houzhao plans to build it in the direction of military police and national security.

As for Dongchang, as well as the current Qiqizhai, it will be similar to the National Security Agency of later generations and the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States.Of course, the functions are slightly different, Jin Yiwei is responsible for more investigation places.

In terms of anti-espionage, the ability may be relatively weak.The six doors are more focused on the government. These are the things that the emperor will control the world in the future, and he will set them up.

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhang Mao was taken aback again. Does His Royal Highness want to use someone from the Zhang family?
"I don't know who the Crown Prince prefers?" Zhang Mao asked cautiously.

Zhu Houzhao didn't walk around, and said directly: "The Duke has a grandson named Zhang Ji, and I want to use him as a commander. His grades in the martial arts academy are very good, and I want to transfer him this time."

Zhang Ji, this is naturally a member of Zhang Mao's family, but he is not very outstanding, and he is not a direct descendant, so he is much inferior to Zhang Mao's grandson Zhang Lun, both in terms of fame and status.

Zhang Mao did not expect His Highness the Crown Prince to take a fancy to him, but this is also a good thing for the Zhang family.

Although I don't know what will happen to the six doors in the future, but being able to work beside the prince is something that many people can't ask for.

Zhang Mao was even happier, and quickly said: "Zhang Ji has been an obedient and sensible child since he was a child, and I often teach him that he may not be successful, but he must not be harmful. Therefore, Zhang Ji is very prudent in dealing with people. It is also his blessing to be able to walk up to His Highness the Crown Prince once in a while. Don't worry, His Highness the Crown Prince, he will be fine in life and deeds."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said with a smile: "Then this matter is settled."

Zhang Mao nodded hastily, "Okay. I must instruct Zhang Ji well."

"In this case, I will leave now." Zhu Houzhao stood up and said, "The appointment will come soon, Ai Qing let them prepare."

Saying that, Zhu Houzhao went out.

Naturally, Zhang Mao didn't dare to neglect, and took everyone in the Zhang family to send Zhu Houzhao.

After Zhu Houzhao left, Zhang Mao said to the housekeeper beside him: "Go and send someone to find the people around Zhang Ji. I want to ask about him. In addition, increase the treatment of Zhang Ji's family, and the cost will be based on the cost Treat me like a child!"

Zhang Mao actually doesn't know much about Zhang Ji, and now he needs to understand.

"Yes, Duke. I'll arrange it right away." The butler agreed and ran to arrange it.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao, who left the Zhang family, didn't know about it, but he didn't care either.

The reason why he used the people from the Zhang family was actually very simple, that is, he was using the power of Duke Ying to let them work in the six gates.

Having been the prince for so many years, Zhu Houzhao already has a little understanding of how to balance.

A yamen like Six Gates must not be manipulated by civil officials, and the people chosen cannot be civil officials; ordinary military generals are also not good, they will be innately afraid of civil officials.

Only noble children are more suitable. There are people behind them, and they are not afraid of civil officials, nor are they afraid of other people.

No matter how rich and powerful you are, you are not as rich and powerful as I am, so they are the most suitable pioneers.

Zhu Houzhao chose the man of the British Duke, in order to suppress other nobles and let them know what to do.

After Zhu Houzhao returned to the palace, he gave the information about this matter to his father.

Zhu Youtang also had no intention of objecting. He has seen the performance of the nobles and relatives in the past few years, and it is right to give them some benefits.

You must know that the nobles in the past few years, if they have nothing to do, they will find trouble for themselves.Among other things, there is no one in my brother-in-law's house who does not make trouble all day long, or enters the palace to ask for money.

Looking at it now, my brother-in-law's family has played a lot of roles in the past few years, sending money to the palace even if there is nothing to do.

Even the courtiers have less impeachment of Xungui, and now most of them are political disputes, not so-and-so's so-and-so and so-and-so who did some disgusting things.

So the news spread quickly, and the most discussed was about Zhang Lun.

The nobles are naturally rejoicing, this represents their victory, and at the same time represents that they have penetrated more in Liaodong.

You must know that Liaodong has always been the territory of Liaodong generals for the past two years. Although it is not impossible to get in, there is no one of its own.

Now that people have been sent over, then naturally there will be people of our own, and it will be much more convenient to do things in the future.
This is actually Zhu Houzhao's goal.The central government's control over Liaodong is not very strong. If it was in the past, it would be fine. The imperial court didn't pay much attention to fighting there in the bitter cold, as long as it was not defeated.

But it’s different now. Liaodong is getting richer and richer. In the future, it will be an important food producing area, the animal husbandry industry will be very developed, and it will also be an important trade base for North Korea and Japan.

Under such circumstances, the previous model will definitely not work. The DPRK and China need stronger military control, so they sent Xungui to Liaodong.

For their own benefit, the nobles will also compete with the generals of Liaodong.

And it is enough for the court to be in the middle, there is no need to end the game with the Liaodong general in person.One is that the DPRK does not have so much energy, and the other is that this will make many people alienated.

They can fight on their own, and it is enough for the court to be the referee.This is actually another manifestation of the emperor's way, that is, employing people and being a referee.

Going off in person is a taboo thing.

There are also people who are worried, but most of them are civil servants, but they have nothing to do.Because the civil servants are not monolithic, the three cabinet scholars are basically silent, and some people are already saying that they are old.

As for the other court ministers, many of them belong to His Royal Highness.

This time Zhu Houzhao made this matter, they must support it.Coupled with the gentry who have business in Liaodong, the opposition rarely makes any splashes.

Although Zhu Houzhao has offended many people with what he has done in the past few years, he has also united many people.

First of all, he made a fortune from Qiyizhai, and secondly, he worshiped Zhu Houzhao, which made a lot of people support his policies, and he also had a great say in the court.

Especially those who followed Zhu Houzhao to make a fortune, they are the most supportive of Zhu Houzhao.

This is a new class, different from the gentry and businessmen in the past. Those people used to think about taking advantage of the legal loopholes and how to dig into the country's corners all day long.

These emerging people are different, they are not the old school, they are more aggressive, they want to open up new business routes, they want slaves, and they want new territories.

The emerging classes look down on the petty profits of the country.Most of these people are headed by nobles and relatives, and they can be regarded as the capitalist nobles of the Ming Dynasty.

With the support of these people, Zhu Houzhao can do everything with twice the result with half the effort.

After Zhang Lun's incident passed, Chaozhong began to pay attention to the six doors.

In the past, everyone heard that this yamen was planned by His Royal Highness to be placed under the Ministry of Punishment, which means it is similar to the Yantie Division of the Ministry of Households.

At that time, there were still many people who wanted to compete for this position, because with the precedent of Qi You, everyone was gearing up.

It's just that this time it's different. His Royal Highness did it himself, which is very difficult.

There is no way to fight, you can only hold this breath in your heart.Of course, there are also those who are afraid, and that is the yamen of Shuntian Mansion.

In addition to Shuntian Prefecture, there are several other counties.

These people were all frightened, because His Royal Highness was obviously chasing them this time.

It's not that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never done such a thing before, but he didn't do it himself, but this time he did it himself.

How could they not be afraid?
They were afraid of being dealt with by His Highness the Crown Prince.

Zhu Houzhao has no scruples about the emotions of these people at all, and he has already begun to mobilize people to set up six doors.The main structure is naturally those students from the martial arts academy, those who did not learn military affairs well and transferred to criminal investigation.

These people have also studied for such a long time, passed the exam, and many of them got good grades.Zhu Houzhao called them out, and there were more than 60 people in total.

Most of these people were from noble families and relatives, and there were also many descendants of local generals, and some were descendants of meritorious personnel from the Black Dragon Army. These people were all transferred to Zhu Houzhao's command. ,

The six-door yamen is not far from the gate of the Forbidden City. It is a courtyard that is not too big, and certainly not small.

This morning the sun was just rising, and many people gathered here.

These people were all dressed in uniform, all in black, and held Yanling sabers in their hands.

This set of clothes was designed by Zhu Houzhao, a new atmosphere in the new yamen.

Although they still do the job of catching fast, they can't wear those clothes, because their status was too low before, and this new uniform is to show their status.

The design idea borrowed some flying fish suits, as for why he chose black, because Zhu Houzhao likes black.

Another reason is that black is conspicuous during the day, but not conspicuous at night, making it easy to move.

These people quickly gathered at the gate of the yamen and greeted each other with a smile. Most of them knew each other.

Some met before entering the martial arts academy, and some met after entering the martial arts academy

Originally, they thought that if they failed their grades in the martial arts academy, they were basically doomed, but they didn't expect that there would be such an opportunity.

Many of them have made achievements in the Black Dragon Army in the same year, only they are still wasting.

So this time, these people can be said to be full of fighting spirit, with the intention of making some achievements.

Soon the crowd quieted down, and a pair of guards in black armor appeared at the intersection.

Everyone knew that this was the Black Dragon Guard of His Highness the Crown Prince, and his personal bodyguard, so they would not see each other.

The presence of these people here means that His Royal Highness is coming.

One of the reasons why they were so excited this time was because they wanted to work with His Royal Highness, and everyone knew that this was a road to heaven.

Now seeing Zhu Houzhao coming, how could they not be excited?

　Two books are recommended, one is Back to the Ming Dynasty and Be a Faint King, it is a female author who plays tricks and is very powerful, and people are taken aback for a while. If you like this style, you can read it.

　　Pushing Beisong, this is the book of the boss, you should read a lot, everyone likes to support it.
